00:00Now, how will Jake Moody respond? Missed an extra point on the 49ers' first touchdown.
00:12Missed the whole week's the snap.
00:16And that is perfect.
00:19You can sense the trepidation in the stadium.
00:24Now, back to Will and Dibby on 95.7 The Game.
00:29I mean, Grandy brought up an interesting point this morning texting with all of us with regard to basically what I think we just heard there.
00:38That's the call of Jake Moody's extra point.
00:42Yeah, where he got a boo followed by a Bronx cheer and then went out in the ensuing kickoff, booted it out of bounds, and made his special teams coach turn red.
00:52But have we reached a spot where here is the wrong place for Jake?
00:59Because, let's say, Dibbs, that you're on point today.
01:04Let's say we're being unfair.
01:06Well, I don't know if you can put the toothpaste back in the tube there.
01:11I mean, the guy is getting booed as he walks onto the field for a preseason extra point.
01:16And has admittedly struggled with confidence over the last couple of years.
01:21So, is this the best place for him to actually succeed, knowing that that's the environment?
01:29Well, we'll see.
01:30I mean, if he does well, if he goes out there and makes his first 17 or 18 kicks of the year, extra points and field goals alike,
01:39well, then those boos will turn into cheers.
01:41I don't think the fans are going to boo him if he goes out and he's successful.
01:45And he missed an extra point in a preseason game.
01:48And the fan base is already feeling some kind of way about Jake Moody.
01:51And so, yeah, Jake Moody maybe will be better off going somewhere else and kicking.
01:57But the problem is, there aren't a lot of those jobs open.
02:01And even if they are open, you don't usually take a cast off from one team and just plop them onto your team.
02:07I mean, a lot of teams do it throughout the year.
02:09Throughout the year, yes.
02:11I mean, I'm not going to say they grow on trees, but it ain't like replacing your linebacker or a cornerback or a running back.
02:21It is easier to replace those guys.
02:23There are people on the street who can kick at an NFL level.
02:28Ex-kicker Mason Crosby is going to join us in 10 minutes.
02:31I mean, as I explore kind of the way you feel about this, let me ask you this.
02:35Why do you think the fan base feels the way they do about it?
02:38Because, like, talking to you right now, it's as if there's no evidence of a problem at all.
02:44Well, there's evidence of him struggling.
02:46Yeah, last year, the second half of the year, he struggled.
02:49I don't look at preseason for anybody and make these sweeping judgments.
02:54I don't think that him kicking the ball out of bounds, it's not a good thing, but it's just a preseason game.
03:01Much like when you watch a Cactus League baseball game and Logan Webb goes out there and gives up five runs and two and two-thirds, who cares?
03:10But let me speak for some people listening to us.
03:12Why is Jake Moody seemingly with you starting at ground zero this year?
03:17Because it's a new year and they've chosen to give him the kicking job to start the year.
03:22So, as a 49er fan, I'm all in.
03:24I want him to do well.
03:25Well, sure.
03:26I want him to do well.
03:28I would not have booed him at a preseason game for missing a PAT.
03:32I don't boo the home team.
03:34Like, that's just not my vibe.
03:35Whatever, though.
03:36If that's what you want to do, do it.
03:38I guess that's my, like, I don't think that's the way most of us would look at a lot of different players.
03:46Do you know what I mean?
03:46Like, when we come back for whatever preseason we're talking about, there are preconceived notions about a player based on how he's performed up to this point.
03:57You know what I mean?
03:58Like, we did it this year with Camilo Duval.
04:01Camilo Duval came in for the Giants this year and it was like, well, we're probably not going to use him as closer.
04:07And then he was closer and then he wasn't closer and then he was and then he was gone, right?
04:13Like, there's history there and of course there's history with Jake.
04:16I'm not, I'm not going to let, and that's maybe why when I say, oh, he missed an extra point, you're like, oh, he missed one extra point in a preseason game.
04:24It's like, no, we're not starting from scratch here.
04:27We've got a history of Jake Moody missing some significant kicks.
04:31Not all of them.
04:33Yes, he's made some.
04:34He's missed a lot of them, though.
04:36And is coming off of a terrible, terrible year.
04:40And so, when you do miss two kicks in two games, this is not just like, oh, it's preseason.
04:47Like, no, it's a continuation sensation is what it is.
04:50I mean, for some, yeah.
04:52And, you know, if Shanahan feels that way, then maybe he goes out and he has some struggles early and they go elsewhere.
04:59Just looking at last year, a grand total of 36 individuals kicked in the National Football League for 32 teams.
05:07So, it's not like the turnover was that great.
05:11Most teams, you get a kicker, you ride with them unless they are really, really bad.
05:15And Jake Moody was really bad last year.
05:17So, for me, yeah, you start at ground zero for the year, but it's not like he's going to have the same amount of leash as he did as a rookie or as he did last year.
05:27No matter what the draft selection was to bring him in, this team's not going to sit there and tolerate him being erratic or being inconsistent.
05:37I don't know if they already have.
05:39Well, and it's the preseason.
05:40And last season.
05:42Fine.
05:42Whatever happened last season was last season.
05:45The guy drove Debo Samuel nuts.
05:48Like, this is, you know what I mean?
05:49Like, this is, and by the way.
05:51Right, and that's the bar, right?
05:52No, it's not.
05:53Of course not.
05:54Debo didn't drive him crazy, right?
05:56Well, no.
05:56Whatever Debo did.
05:57I have no idea what Debo did.
05:59He drove the long snapper crazy.
06:01Tabor Pepper.
06:02But, no, that's not.
06:03It's an example.
06:05And you know this.
06:06Football players do not look at kickers as regular teammates.
06:10They don't.
06:10And so, there is already an odd relationship there when you're missing big kicks.
06:16When the other guys are out there banging their heads against everything to make something happen, and then they create this opportunity, and the kicker goes out there and misses, that's, it's tough.
06:26It's tough.
06:27And I don't think he's got the confidence of his teammates right now, which is why they bum-rushed him in Vegas when he made a kick.
06:33That's why they reacted so over the top, because the guy is struggling.
06:38He's been struggling for an extended period of time now.
06:43Right.
06:43He didn't struggle in that game, going five for six and kicking a 59-yard or so.
06:47And you don't know that's why they bum-rushed him.
06:50Of course.
06:51That's you jumping to that conclusion, and you're allowed to.
06:55The whole radio station had an entire conversation about it the next day, about how, like, there was some feeling behind that.
07:02I'm sure there was some joy.
07:03It's a preseason game.
07:05Why would you bum-rush the guy like you just won the Super Bowl?
07:08Because maybe you're a guy who will never play in a regular season game, which is two-thirds of those guys who were on the field that day.
07:14Here's what Shanahan said about this after the game.
07:17I mean, I thought he had one of the best games I've ever seen a guy have last week.
07:21I know he missed extra points today, which definitely doesn't make us happy, but we'll see how it goes in the year.
07:27I know he's a talented kicker.
07:28I know he's done some really good things for us.
07:30He had a rough last seven games last year, but I think he's had a real good offseason and a real good preseason also.
07:36Okay, and I think Kyle right there is taking us for fools.
07:43He had the best game he's seen a kicker have in a long time that included, A, a 53-yard miss, and, B, a 27-yard field goal that would have doinked from 28.
07:52Isn't it possible that he's saying that for Jake Moody's benefit, so that Jake Moody can hear his coach saying things and Jake Moody can maybe feel more confident?
08:01Of course it is, but that's not honest.
08:03Well, you don't know how he feels.
08:05Like, that's his opinion.
08:07You're not going to take him in his word?
08:08No, I'm going to take him in his facial expression that I saw on the field, which was livid.
08:12Right, but the comments there are talking about the previous game when he was not so livid.
08:16Yeah, well, and that's a press conference.
08:18Right.
08:18We all know what we get at a press conference.
08:20Those are comments that have been through a filter.
08:23And those are comments that are directed not for the fan base, but for Jake Moody.
08:28For Jake Moody to hear and feel like his coach has confidence in him, because that's what you want.
08:32If you're the coach, don't you want your player to feel confident?
08:35Yes, of course.
08:36So that's why he's going to make those comments about the best game he's ever seen.
08:40And that's fine, but I don't take them as valid.
08:43It's not the best game we've ever seen a kicker have.
08:45It's not even close, especially because, as you're pointing out, I mean, if this doesn't
08:51even matter, well, then kicking is a completely different deal in the preseason.
08:55Who cares?
08:56Who cares?
08:57There's nothing on the line, especially if you've got the job all locked up, no matter
09:00what the hell you do.
09:01Well, he's got the job.
09:02I wouldn't say it's all locked up.
09:04We can just hook 27-yarders.
09:06You can miss 53-yarders, miss an extra point, kick a kickoff out of bounds.
09:09That doesn't matter.
09:10Drill a 59-yarder and make four other kicks.
09:12It doesn't matter.
09:13I'm not suggesting he misses them all, Dibs.
09:15But this is not a good percentage.
09:17It's not a good percentage.
09:18Well, you're suggesting that it matters at one point, and then it doesn't matter.
09:21Oh, it always matters.
09:22You kick the ball out of bounds.
09:23Maybe he's trying to put a ball in an area where he wouldn't try that in the regular season.
09:28You're allowed to experiment.
09:30Even if you're the kicker, you can try different things in a game that doesn't matter.
09:34I don't know that at all.
09:35If you have that kind of a leeway, then your special teams coach wouldn't have had to go
09:40for a walk after that.
09:42Yeah, he looks frustrated.
09:43He clearly did not have the leeway to do that.
09:45He did not have the leeway.
09:46Well, let's try something here.
09:48Or else his special teams coach would have been in on that.
09:51He would have said, hey, give this a little whirl and see what happens.
09:54Let's check it out.
09:55That's not what happened.
09:56He needed AirPods and a walk after watching Jake Moody kick the other day.
10:00And then they're going to come out here and have a press conference and be like, everything's amazing.
10:04It's not.
10:06Well, what do you want him to say?
10:07Do you want him to come out and say Jake's on his last strand?
10:11I don't want him to say anything.
10:12I can just freely say to you that I do not believe that that was a genuine comment.
10:17That was the greatest game I've ever seen a kicker have last week.
10:20Give me a break.
10:21You know, that's all I'm saying.
